    MK1 paint nearly finished

    Chose a paint colour called mitterschwarz metallic, translates to midnight black metallic, however in the sun, it pops a real deep metallic grey.











    this is the car i bought off this forum with a 16v motor in it. needless to say, its come along way!!!

    All the way back to bare metal, have everything shaved that i could, all chrome trims will be matte blacked, including bumpers and mirrors.

    Have the fixed back buckets in it, with suede deep corn nardi wheel, when i get it back, it will go away for trimming and then i think we are pretty much done.

    Currently looking for a set of 16x8 BBS RS, so if anyone sees any, give me a yell

    Yes and Yes!

    used to look like this



    paint was pretty shagged, windscreen panel was full of cancer, as was the tailgate. roof was absolutely ****ed. Its been a big job, but im so happy with the result.

    Looking very sharp man

    I saw this car when Frank purchased it back from Steve ( who put it together ) must be 6 or 7 years ago... then sold a few parts to the Shane when he was working on it.. was in need of a serious body overhaul way back then..

    Heads up on the paint shop please, I have a few cars that need the attention of a real painter..

    Did you guy's prep the body or the paint shop ??
    Lots of MK 1 Scirocco's...

    If it aint a MK 1 then it must be a donor car ??

    Cheers,
    Grant...
